Fit-for-Purpose Slabs and Surfaces
Each concreting job comes with its own conditions—space, purpose, soil type and budget. That’s why no two pours are treated the same. Whether it’s a driveway built to handle daily vehicle use or a slab for a future shed, the work starts with careful planning and finishes with a result that holds up to wear and weather.
The process begins by evaluating the site and preparing a stable base with the right compaction and formwork. We then lay reinforcement where needed to protect against cracking, and place expansion joints to guide natural concrete movement over time. For projects that need specific drainage solutions, we incorporate slopes, spoon drains or edge falls directly into the pour.
Concrete finishing is customised according to its primary use, smooth surfaces for work areas, textured broom finishes for slip resistance, and decorative touches for feature zones. Tools and techniques are chosen based on durability, ease of maintenance and overall look.
Throughout the job, the focus stays on clean execution, clear communication and doing the small things right. From the ground prep to the last pass of the trowel, it’s all about creating concrete that’s built for how you live and work.
How do I maintain a concrete driveway after installation?
To maintain a concrete driveway, keep it clean by regularly sweeping and hosing down debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals, especially de-icers or solvents. Seal the surface every few years to protect against stains, moisture and wear. Watch for signs of cracking or movement, and address any drainage issues promptly. Parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly can cause dents or stress points, so it’s wise to vary their placement occasionally.
What is the purpose of expansion joints in concrete?
Expansion joints allow concrete to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. They’re typically installed at regular intervals or where the concrete meets other structures, like walls or columns. These joints absorb movement caused by heat, moisture and settlement. Without them, stress builds up in the slab, leading to uncontrolled cracking. Expansion joints are critical in larger pours or outdoor applications where concrete is exposed to the elements.
Can decorative concrete be repaired if damaged?
Yes, most decorative concrete can be repaired, though the method depends on the damage. Small cracks or chips can be filled with colour-matched patching products. Surface wear or discolouration may be resolved by resealing or applying an overlay. More significant damage might require grinding and resurfacing. While some finishes, like patterns or exposed aggregate, may be harder to match exactly, repairs can still restore function and improve the overall appearance.
